The source was posted at launch. The windows wallet was compiled shortly after launch. Solo mining was never recommended and would not have been possible at 200+ difficulty without in excess of 60 M/H in power. You said private launch, which indicates some public miners were given an advantage. This is not the case. Nice try.
Then why do a lot of others think and seen the same thing?
For one very simple reason: there is a group of people attempting to mis-inform people about rubycoin in this thread. Whether intentionally or not, that's what they're doing. Anyone who was in the IRC at launch knows what you are saying is false.
I don't engage with habitual liars. We're done here.
At least 2 pools were mining the coin seconds after the dropbox link was posted (at best, it may have been a minute or two before, both are a sign of the same thing). This was seen on irc specifically. Therefore they had to have it ahead of time. The first post in this thread was not updated for many minutes after the link was posted in irc. To my knowledge the change in early block reward wasn't posted anywhere.
Where is the mis-information?
There is no mis-information.
I was on IRC and can confirm that atleast 3 pools (ruby.suchpool.pw, ruby.hash.so and
https://minercrew.org/ruby/) were mining before the dropboxlink with the rubycoin source was released to other pools and public. Then we have
http://rby.united-miners.com who confirmed they were up 16 (!!) secs after dropboxlink was published. Worlds fastest compiling?
Anyway, looking at the IRC-log/conversation all these pools seems to be related to the devteam one way or another.
Shitcoin.
